Chapter 226 Owing a Life
"Achu, are you back?" Chun Xiao finished speaking, and Wu Yinze had already entered.

He hadn't even had time to change into his official uniform, and he didn't have the slightest air of impoverished scholar in the past. He stood there with a bright temperament, like a jade man.

Jiang Chu glanced at him: "Are you so free all day long?"

Wu Yin smiled: "It's true that I have been free. I just heard that you are back, so I came to see you, Ah Chu, everything is going well in Linzhou for the past two months? Nothing embarrassing, right?"

He holds several positions. Now that the emperor of Bai Yuan Kingdom is in his twilight years, the power of the princes of all parties is becoming more and more tense. Even if the third prince has become the prince, he still cannot take it lightly. As the prince's confidant, how can he be free?

I came all the way, and I still haven't had time to take off my official uniform.

But Wu Yin almost came back, it was all these words, Jiang Chu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and just pretended not to know: "Well, everything is going well."

Wu Yinze said: "The Xinyue restaurant in Linzhou has opened. You have managed it carefully for three years, and there are already four Xinyue restaurants in Baiyuanguo. It's not unreasonable to have you running around all the time. It's too tiring. , Chunxiao has also been cultivated now, next time it's better to let her go to practice, otherwise it's not good to let you work alone."

In the past three years, Jiang Chu has been running all over the place for this restaurant, and Wu Yinze, of course, can't control her, so he can only let her go. He has to worry about her even when she goes out, and even more so, this time After leaving for another two months, he really didn't feel at ease in the slightest.

That's why when he got the news from the spies that she was back, he left the mountain of official duties on his hands and rushed over.

After so many years, he would only "lazy" for her.

Jiang Chu said calmly: "For some things, you have to come forward in person to be at ease."

"But you're always so busy, I'm afraid you'll be tired."

Jiang Chu smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing to be tired about. I've learned a lot about the local customs and customs in Linzhou. It's also boring to be bored in Zezhou."

In fact, she still thinks that if she keeps herself busy, she won't think too much of the heart-stirring past, and then she will numb herself and let herself forget the fact that she still misses that person.

Wu Yin smiled: "Since you like Linzhou, when I am free someday, take me for a walk together. I would also like to see if what you said is true or not."

"Come on, do you still have time to spare now? Don't run to me all day, and go to work if you have a lot of things to do. I also know that you are very busy now."

Wu Yinze's smile faded a bit, seeing her say these words indifferently, felt like a needle pricking his heart, he knew that she was not caring for him, but just didn't care if he came or not.

But didn't he know about this result three years ago?Now that I think about it, everything is my own choice, and there is nothing to complain about.

"Well, even though I'm busy, I can't just be bored all day long. I have to relax a bit."

Jiang Chu didn't raise his head, looking at the account book in his hand: "Come to me, it's better to go home and sleep."

Wu Yinze looked at her deeply, and said softly: "No need, I just look at you, and I feel more energetic."

Jiang Chu's hands paused, his eyes drooped, and without looking at him, he said helplessly, "Wu Yinze, you know, there are some things that I can't give."

Wu Yinze seemed to have gotten used to it, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, I can wait."

Jiang Chu finally raised his eyes and looked at him firmly: "There is nothing I can do in this life."

Loved once, she seems to have hollowed out her whole heart, she looks calm, but in fact only she knows that her heart is riddled with holes and scars, she has lost all her life before she can love again The courage of the second person was because she was tired and hurt too badly, or because the person from the past occupied her heart and never left.

She can deceive others and herself, but she can't deceive the heart that is still beating for him.

A look of injury flashed across Wu Yinze's eyes, but he still held the corner of his lips in relief: "It's okay, I can wait for the rest of my life."

Jiang Chuxiu frowned slightly: "You really don't have to do this."

Wu Yin sighed softly: "Ah Chu, it's not that I want to do this, but that I have to. It's not that you don't understand love, why don't you understand me? How can you let go of someone you love so easily?"

In this life, he was lucky to be able to love her and wait for her. He was content, really content, even if he felt sad and sad occasionally, he was still happy to see her once in a while.

Jiang Chu's eyes gradually lowered, indeed, she was not qualified to persuade him to let go.

Why ask others for something she couldn't do herself?

Wu Yin suddenly laughed: "You are not afraid of delaying me, are you? Anyway, I am now an important minister in the court. I don't know how many girls want to marry me. Even if I am seventy or eighty, it is still in demand. By then, you have not yet married me." If someone wants it, I will reluctantly accept you."

Jiang Chu glared at him and ignored him.

But her heart was slightly sour. Regarding Wu Yinze, from her anger at the beginning to her apology today, she seemed to see more and more clearly that he used her, but the situation was different. He was not wrong, he provoked The relationship between her and Ji Yao, but the real problem between Ji Yao and her was never his slight provocation, but a poisonous thorn that could not be pulled out, Murong Jia.

He seemed to have done so many bad things, yet she still owed him his life.

He blocked the hidden weapon on the imperial boat three years ago, between life and death, for her.

Jiang Chu didn't know how to repay the debt he owed, but she couldn't afford what he wanted, so there was nothing he could do except to apologize.

-

East Palace.

At this time, several courtiers were already waiting in the hall, even Wu Zehua had arrived.

But Wu Yin is still in the future.

Finally, a little eunuch sang outside: "Master Wu is here."

Wu Yinze came in quickly after being belatedly, and bowed his hands together: "My minister sees Your Highness."

Wu Zehua looked at him coldly: "It's good for me to announce you to enter the palace to discuss matters. You came later than me. You are too lazy, right?"

Wu Yinze said in a deep voice: "This minister is guilty, please punish him, Your Highness."

Without the slightest prevarication or excuse, he directly accepted the punishment.

Wu Zehua snorted coldly: "Just such a woman deserves what you do!"

Wu Yin didn't answer, but just stood there silently with his head bowed.

Wu Zehua knows that he has a woman he loves deeply, a woman he loves deeply but has never been able to get, but he doesn't know that she is Jiang Chu. Jiang Chu is now in Bai Yuanguo, and in order to keep a low profile, he usually wears a veil when he goes out.
